Kanpur: Sister-in-law of slain gangster Amar Dubey on Tuesday filed her nomination papers from Kalyanpur assembly constituency as a Congress nominee for the coming UP elections.
Neha Tiwari, the Congress candidate, is sister of Khushi Dubey, whose husband Amar Dubey was gunned down in an encounter with UP Police.
Amar Dubey was an associate of gangster Vikas Dubey who had led the ambush that killed eight policemen in Kanpur's Bikru village in July 2020.
Vikas Dubey and Amar Dubey were killed in separate encounters.
The Congress had earlier announced that Khushi Dubey's mother Gayatri Tiwari will contest from the Kalyanpur assembly seat, but it later chose Neha Tiwari in her place.
Gayatri also reportedly refused to contest the assembly elections from Kalyanpur.
